Sightseeing in Sado

At this park you can see the very rare Toki birds, or crested ibis, which are considered to be natural monuments. At the Toki Rapport Plaza, you can take a closer look at Toki birds at a recreation of a semi-natural environment located inside the facility. There, you can observe their way of life, such as flight, fishing and feeding on pond fish, nests located at human eye-level, and their ecology itself.

With its peak in the Edo Period, gold mining continued for nearly 400 years through ups and downs, until operations were stopped in 1989. There, you can see the spectacular scenery of the “Doyu no Warido” a V-shaped crack on an enormous rock formation, and a precise reproduction of a hand-mining scene as depicted in one of the mining tunnels on the “Sado Gold Mines Picture Scrolls,” recreated using animatronic wax figures. You can also visit the museum.
